Ingredients
8 chicken tenders
11⁄2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tsp salt
Spray oil
4 whole wheat hamburger buns
1⁄3 cup dill pickles, sliced
1 cup buttermilk
1⁄4 cup pickle brine
2 tbsp hot sauce
1 egg
1⁄3 cup olive oil
2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, pickle brine, hot sauce, and egg. Whisk until thoroughly combined. In a Ziploc bag, add chicken and buttermilk mixture. Refrigerate and allow to marinate for 1-4 hours.
Step 2
Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees F.
Step 3
In a flat dish, combine panko and salt. Coat the chicken tenders in the panko breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Place chicken in greased air fryer basket and spray with oil. Cook on 375 degrees for 14-16 minutes, flipping and spraying chicken halfway through cooking, until chicken is fully cooked (165 degrees F internal temperature).
Step 5
Meanwhile, when there are about 5 minutes left on the chicken, make the hot oil. Add olive oil, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and whisk to combine. Once sauce begins to simmer, remove from heat.
Step 6
Once chicken tenders are done, remove from air fryer and add to a large bowl. Pour the hot oil over the chicken and toss to combine. Serve on a bun with pickles. Enjoy!
